RTÉ secure rights to Ireland's crucial Euro 2020 play-off clash
IRELAND’S PLAY-OFF semi-final against Slovakia will be shown on national TV after RTÉ today confirmed that it had secured the rights to the game.
There had been doubts as to whether the match would be shown on free-to-air television. The play-off games are technically considered Nations League matches rather than Uefa European qualifiers, with only Sky Sports originally holding the rights to show the former.
